The Girl Scout Troops in Grafton donated "Busy Bags" to Hurricane Katrina victims!

In the wake of the recent hurricane and flooding in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, the Girl Scout Troops in Grafton made up 22 "Busy Bags". The "Busy Bag" is a book bag filled with lots of fun things to keep the kids busy and easy for them to carry from place to place. All items were donated by the girls. Books, crayons, coloring books, card games, toys and school supplies were some of the items included in the bags. Thanks to Joyce Hurst owner of Lilly's in Grafton. She arranged for the book bags to be picked up and delivered to children affected by this disaster.
